Instead of the traditional red carpet, this year's Oscars will feature a champagne-colored carpet.

Kimmel stated that the change was made so that "no blood will be shed" on the carpet.

The red carpet has long been a staple of the Oscars, with celebrities showcasing their glamorous outfits on it.

However, the carpet has also seen its fair share of mishaps, with some celebrities taking spills or suffering wardrobe malfunctions.

The switch to a champagne-colored carpet is seen as a way to reduce the risk of accidents and make for a smoother event.
